The family of David Livingston, 68, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
David was born on 2 December 1956 and entered into Eternal Rest on 27 May 2025.
David served as a medic in the Army National Guard from 1975 to 1981. He earned the Airborne Tab as a paratrooper and became a Green Beret in the Special Forces. As a medic, he dedicated himself to the well-being of his fellow soldiers. He earned the National Defense Medal. After his military service, he continued his commitment to protecting others including jobs as a firefighter, safety officer, risk assessment manager, director of safety, etc., for many esteemed companies, including Vandenberg Space Shuttle.
In retirement, he was working on restoring a 1972 4x4 Chevy short bed truck, but never got to finish the restoration before his death.
David is survived by his loving wife, Adi; his sons, Daniel and Nathan; his father, Ronald; his mother, Joyce; and his siblings, Paul, Kathy King, Kevin, Douglas, and Sharin King. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Karen.

If this will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed there by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent, and with honor and respect for our Heroes. No talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
